Incredible poetry....! from .. One who has been.... Shot through the Heart How? I have so many questions..... How I do I stop the vulgar pain in my chest? How do I do this? How I do I continue to breathe but cannot live? How do I do this? How do I keep my soul in my body? How do I do this? How do I close my eyes wondering if sleep should come but yet knowing if I sleep I will awaken to know this is not a nightmare but my life? How do I do this? How do I love someone with my every being but cannot ever hold him again? How do I do this? How do I go on without that sweet face that brought more joy to my life than I ever deserve never be seen by my eyes again? How do I do this? How do I stop the scream that no one hears but me? How do I do this? PLEASE TELL ME...how do I live without my child, my son, my heart, my soul, my joy, my validation to my life... Please tell me ...how do I do this? How does the world go on without Steven.... how do I do this?
